MobiLoud builds a custom native app on your existing store, so everything that keeps customers coming back works in it from launch.
MobiLoud builds a custom native app from your existing store and designs it around your brand. Your icon sits beside the apps your customers use every day, a constant reminder to come back.
Points, rewards, subscriptions and customer accounts all work in the app because they come from your store, along with your checkout and anything custom you’ve built. Customers see the same balance and perks wherever they shop.
Create a reward, an offer or a members-only drop in Shopify, and it’s live on your site and in your app together. Your team keeps one store, one set of offers and one loyalty program to manage.
Win-back flows, back-in-stock alerts, cart reminders and early access for your best customers land on their lock screens, through OneSignal or Klaviyo. You can also offer products and discounts that only app customers see.
When you need something custom, such as Face ID sign-in, we scope it and build it.
MobiLoud’s team designs, builds and publishes your app, and keeps it updated for every iOS and Android release. After launch, we work with you on installs and retention campaigns, so the app becomes a channel your best customers rely on.
Customers who install your app come back more often and stay with you longer, because your store is always on their home screen.
MobiLoud makes it simple to go live with your own branded mobile app. We handle the difficult parts, and you just sign off at each step.
We build a live, interactive preview from your website, so you can see your app before you decide.
Our team builds your app on your store and designs it around your brand. You review it and sign it off before it goes to the stores.
We submit your app to the App Store and Google Play and handle both reviews. If you already have an app, the new one goes out as an update to your listing, so your ratings, reviews and users stay.
Your app goes live with a launch plan to win installs, and we keep it updated and help you grow it from there.
“MobiLoud gave us the technology to transform our website into an app without changing anything, which is the best way to test if it’s profitable without investing huge amounts of money.”
Alexandre Azoulay General Manager, Moda di Andrea “MobiLoud enabled us to relaunch buybuy BABY’s native mobile app in record time, slashing development costs by over 90%. Their platform perfectly mirrored every website redesign without extra effort.”

Superfans works with Shopify stores only. If your store runs on Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce or another platform, Superfans isn’t an option. MobiLoud works with all of them, Shopify included.
Superfans’ Unlimited plan costs $1,000 a month, or $10,000 a year, with custom pricing for brands above $20M in revenue, and its Shopify listing also shows a $150 Starter plan. MobiLoud starts at $799 a month with no share of your sales, which covers the design, the build, the launch and a team that keeps your app updated.
Superfans is usually faster to launch: it says you can build an app in 60 minutes and start selling within a week. MobiLoud apps usually go live in 2 to 4 weeks, including the store reviews, because our team designs, builds and tests the app for you.
Your loyalty program works in a MobiLoud app from day one, whichever app runs it, because the app is built on your store. Customers see the same points, rewards and perks in the app as they do on your site.
A MobiLoud app is a native iOS and Android app, built in Swift and Kotlin. It runs on a mix of your existing web code and custom elements built for the app, such as native navigation, push notifications and login, and customers get an app that looks and feels like any other on their phone.
You can move your Superfans app to MobiLoud without losing your users, because your app is in your own Apple and Google developer accounts. We publish the new app as an update to your existing listing, so your ratings and reviews stay, and we time the switch so the new app is live before you cancel Superfans.
You don’t build or maintain the app yourself with MobiLoud. We design and build it, publish it to both stores and update it for every new iOS and Android release, while your team keeps working on your store.
Get in touch and we’ll put together a free preview of your mobile app, so you can see what’s possible with MobiLoud.
